Hark! ’Tis the Clarion

Hark! ’tis the cla­ri­on sound­ing the fight

Turn from each si­ren charm­er.

Banners are wav­ing

swords gleam­ing bright

Gird on the heav’n­ly ar­mor.

Stern is the con­flict

fierce is the foe;

Cowards and trait­ors will back­ward go:

Brave men are want­ed

hearts all aglow

Wanted to bat­tle for Je­sus.

Soldiers of God

we join you to­day

Join in your grand en­dea­vor.

Soldiers of God

ad­vance to the fray

For the truth is tri­umph­ant for ev­er.

Haste to the res­cue; souls in their need

Loud for re­lief are call­ing;

Must they for ev­er hope­less­ly plead?

None hear the cry ap­pall­ing?

Broken in spir­it

wound­ed by sin

Foemen around them

and fear with­in;

Speed ye to help them free­dom to win;

Speed with the Gos­pel of Je­sus.

Soon ’twill be ov­er

dan­ger all past;

Ended the march­es drea­ry.

After the war­fare

rest comes at last

Sweet rest for sol­diers wea­ry.

Crown af­ter con­flict

ease af­ter pain:

Parting shall nev­er be known again;

Joy ev­er­last­ing all shall ob­tain

All who are faith­ful to Je­sus.
